Wiltshire Council denied McCarthy Stone’s plan to turn the old police station into 30 retirement homes due to design, parking, and housing shortage concerns.
Wiltshire Council has rejected plans by developer McCarthy Stone to convert the former Marlborough Police Station into 30 retirement apartments, citing concerns over design, impact on the conservation area, insufficient parking, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of detailed amenity plans.
The decision follows local opposition over an existing oversupply of retirement housing and lack of affordable family homes.
A prior approval for 24 homes on the site in 2022 was never built.
